Mark Labbett reveals reason he’s ‘barred’ from taking part in Strictly Come Dancing 

 

The Chase star Mark Labbett has joked that he’s banned from stepping on Strictly dancefloor.

The quiz master made the quip on The Chase last night (February 18) while commenting on a contestant’s quizzing approach.

Mark’s fans would doubtless love to watch him compete on Strictly. However, the 59-year-old Chaser believes he wouldn’t stand a chance of winning the Glitterball Trophy.

Mark returned as the quiz master in the latest episode of The Chase. Four new contestants went against him for the grand prize.

Well, you quiz like I dance: it’s not pretty.

When one of the contestants, Annaka, struggled to perform and ended with a mere £2,000, Mark threw her an insult and was prompted to confess that he wasn’t a great dancer.

The quiz master told the contestant: “Good afternoon, Annaka. Well, you quiz like I dance: it’s not pretty and it’s the reason I’m barred from Strictly.”

She then replied: “Well, we’ll have to see how I do in this round but I accept that my performance was pitiful.”

The Final Chase

Sadly, she became the second player to be eliminated from the show. Contestant Will, who lost £7,000 after being caught by the quizzer, was the first to go home. Tom was also sent home.

Debra went after Annaka and managed to rake in an impressive £6,000 in the cash builder round, winning a place for herself in the Final Chase.

Debra answered 14 questions in under two minutes with an impressive performance. However, Mark caught her out with 4 seconds remaining. And, as a result of not winning any pushbacks, she went home empty-handed too.
